I think cutting trees/branches under tension with a chainsaw can be as dangerous as foolish tractor moves, I'd suggest using the tractor to take the stress off some of those hung up pcs. like those in the first pictures, that large 12+" pc that's still partly attached to the tree, I would not want to be under that trying to cut it with a chain saw. If the loader couldn't dislodge it then at least it could be used to stabilize it.
I don't know what kind of trees you guys are pushing over with your tractors, about the largest I've done is 3-4 inches, and then I had a battle with the roots. It's not that I don't think they're designed for that it's just that I've found them incapable.
Trees are pretty tough customers, I've seen trees even as little as 10" dia hit by speeding cars and trucks, killing occupants in the vehicle but just scrapping a little bark off the tree?
